From the Jerusalem Post<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The backlash was instantaneous. Followers accused Coulter of being “anti-Semitic,” and “desperate for attention,” calling her statement “f—ing offensive.” Several followers mentioned they believed her account had been hacked while others suggested she was drunk after playing a drinking game while viewing the debate. <\/p>\n

“Last night, Ann Coulter made appalling, anti-Jewish remarks which evoked the classic, anti-Semitic trope about Jewish manipulation of America for the purposes of supporting Israel at America’s expense,” Zionist Organization of America head Morton Klein said.<\/p>\n

“When GOP candidates speak of strengthening the US-Israel relationship which has been harmed by President [Barack] Obama within the context of the need to ensure that Iran doesn’t go nuclear; to strengthen America’s hand in the world when dealing with vicious totalitarian enemies who seek the demise of the US, they are defending America’s interests,” Klein said.<\/p>\n

“Instead, and for reasons best known to her, she chose to misrepresent their entirely legitimate statements as pandering to Jews.”<\/p>\n

“Ann Coulter was gratuitously offensive and anti-Jewish in her remarks on twitter yesterday,” Klein said. “If such was not her intention, there is a simple remedy: she should immediately retract and make a heartfelt apology for her words.”<\/p>\n

“Failing this, Fox News should dismiss her immediately.”<\/p>\n

While Coulter does appear regularly on the Fox News Channel to offer her views, she is not a paid employee of the network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
